Acetyl hexapeptide-3 and granactive retinoid
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day by applying your peptide product in the morning and your retinoid at night. Using both strong ingredients at the same time can overwhelm your skin and cause extra redness or irritation. You can easily prevent this by using them in separate routines or switching to a gentler formula.
